    Pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate the natural environment and disrupt the balance. The main forms of pollution are air, water, soil, radioactive, noise, heat, and light. Air pollution is particularly dangerous, caused by burning fossil fuels for energy, industry, and transportation which releases sulfur dioxide and hazardous gases, causing health problems in humans and global warming. Water pollution is also severe, as industrial and agricultural runoff contaminates water sources, imbalances ecosystems and spreads water-borne disease. Pollution degrades the environment by blocking sunlight and causing acid rain, and harms human health through respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. It is important to control pollution to protect nature, wildlife, and humanity.

    Pollution:Causes and Effects

    Pollution, we hear it every other day at school, college and read about it in newspapers.
    So what is it? Pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate the natural surroundings; which
    brings about changes that affect our normal lifestyles adversely. Pollutants are the key
    elements or components of pollution which are generally waste materials of different forms.
    Pollution disturbs our ecosystem and the balance in the environment. With modernization
    and development in our lives pollution has reached its peak; giving rise to global warming
    and human illness.Pollution occurs in different forms; air, water, soil, radioactive, noise,
    heat/ thermal and light. Every form of pollution has two sources of occurrence; the point
    and the non-point sources. The point sources are easy to identify, monitor and control,
    whereas the non-point sources are hard to control. Let us discuss the different types of
    pollutions, their causes and effects on mankind and the environment as a whole.
    Air Pollution is the most prominent and dangerous form of pollution. It occurs due to
    many reasons. Excessive burning of fuel which is a necessity of our daily lives for cooking,
    driving and other industrial activities; releases a huge amount of chemical substances in the
    air everyday; these pollute the air. Smoke from chimneys, factories, vehicles or burning of
    wood basically occurs due to coal burning; this releases sulphur dioxide into the air making
    it toxic. The effects of air pollution are evident too. Release of sulphur dioxide and
    hazardous gases into the air causes global warming and acid rain; which in turn have
    increased temperatures, erratic rains and droughts worldwide; making it tough for the
    animals to survive. We breathe in every polluted particle from the air; result is increase in
    asthma and cancer in the lungs. Water Pollution has taken toll of all the surviving species
    of the earth. Almost 60% of the species live in water bodies. It occurs due to several factors;
    the industrial wastes dumped into the rivers and other water bodies cause an imbalance in
    the water leading to its severe contamination and death of aquatic species. If you suspect
    that nearby water sources have been contaminated by a corporation then it might be a good
    idea to hire an expert to see your options. Water polution the aquatic beings but it also
    contaminates the entire food chain by severely affecting humans dependent on these. Water-
    borne diseases like cholera, diarrhoea have also increased in all places. Environment
    Degradation: Environment is the first casualty for increase in pollution weather in air or
    water. The increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere leads to smog which can
    restrict sunlight from reaching the earth. Thus, preventing plants in the process of
    photosynthesis. Gases like Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide can cause acid rain. Human
    Health: The decrease in quality of air leads to several respiratory problems including
    asthma or lung cancer. Chest pain, congestion, throat inflammation, cardiovascular disease,
    respiratory disease are some of diseases  that can be causes by air pollution. Water pollution
    occurs due to contamination of water and may pose skin related problems including skin
    irritations and rashes. Similarly, Noise pollution leads to hearing loss, stress and sleep
    disturbance.
    Pollution not only affect humans by destroying their respiratory, cardiovascular and
    neurological systems; it also affects the nature, plants, fruits, vegetables, rivers, ponds,
    forests, animals, etc, on which they are highly dependent for survival. It is crucial to control
    pollution as the nature, wildlife and human life are precious gifts to the mankind.
